Hey, I'm playing Polynesia on Emperor on the new communitas map. November VP version.
I had a great start on a great island (https://i.imgur.com/fwps5nJ.jpg). I quickly accumulated massive amount of culture thanks to my early 3 sets of 3 moais (38 culture). When I finished grabbing the 25+ ruins, I had the pop to exploit them all right away.
I was pumping so much culture that in secondary cities I even left some plantations on spots where I could have had a square of moais because they were increasing my growth.
In renaissance now. I make 600 culture per turn and 270 science and yet when I look at the AI's, 3 have more policies than me, china has 3 more... and I can't for the life of me get a single wonder anymore. My cities are fully built on science/production/etc btw.
I have a production of 120+ in two cities and everytime I get the wonder taken away from me with 5 to 18 turns left. All my 15 wonders (yes, I know) are from the previous eras excepted Pisa.
Same thing, I have Mandir and Orthodoxy and my religion is getting its ass kicked everytime it comes in contact with any other. I converted the godless China and Persia to a point where 70% of their pop was my religion, fast forward 40 turns, only my cities remain (because I spam inquisitor again and again). This while sending at least 9 haggia+boro missionaries to counter the ennemy one's right away. Does the AI recieve humongous cheats on religion too now?
They seems to have ~50% more pressure than me when I look at comparable situation, even when they already are the main one. Same, their missionaries convert at 2-3 times the rate mine do.
My previous games were made with an early 2019 version and I never had these issue happen on this difficulty before (Korea, Ethiopia, Inca, etc). With Ethiopia, a borderline OP civ to be honest, I was even a whole Era ahead of everyone up until the modern one where I was only 3 techs ahead of the second.
Thank you for helping me making sense of all this and sorry for the dump.
